Huron Daily Tribune Bad Axe - WASHINGTON (AP) - The Trump administration is coming out Thursday with new visa restrictions aimed at restricting "birth tourism," in which women travel to the U.S. to give birth so their children can have a coveted U.S. passport. Visa applicants deemed by consular officers to be coming to the U.S. primarily to give birth will now be treated like other foreigners coming to the U.S. for medical treatment, according to State Department guidance sent Wednesday and viewed by The Associated Press. The applicants will have to prove they are coming for medical treatment and they have the money to pay for it. The State Department planned to publicize the rules Thursday, according to two officials with knowledge of the plans who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The rules will take effect Friday. The practice of coming to the U.S. to give birth is fundamentally legal, although there are scattered cases of authorities arresting operators of birth tourism agencies for

Wilton Bulletin Wilton - Former Shelton High educator and independent historian Carolyn Ivanoff will offer a program, Every Man (and Woman) His Own Doctor, at the annual meeting of the Shelton Historical Society on Sunday, Feb. 2, at 2 p.m. at the Huntington Congregational Church Fellowship Hall, 19 Church Street. Ivanoff's program will examine what it was like to need and experience medical care in 19th century America. How did people handle and treat inevitable illnesses that come with the human condition? On the frontier, far from any medical help or knowledgeable practitioner, individuals and families had to rely on themselves and their own abilities to treat illnesses. A garden was an utmost necessity for many Americans and home medical manuals evolved to contain herbals and recipes that allowed individuals to create commonly used medicines in their own homes. American medicine would change forever because of the Civil War and the catastrophe of the mass casualty rates and health care crisis the war c

University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia - Abstract [from journal] Objective: To evaluate whether the implementation of a new population-based primary care payment system, Population-Based Payments for Primary Care (3PC), initiated by Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA; the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii), was associated with changes in spending and utilization for outpatient imaging in its first year. Methods: In this observational study, we used claims data from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2016. We used a propensity-weighted difference-in-differences design to compare 70,284 HMSA patients in Hawaii attributed to 107 primary care physicians (PCPs) and 4 physician organizations participating in 3PC in its first year of implementation (2016) and 195,902 patients attributed to 312 PCPs and 14 physician organizations that used a fee-for-service model during the study period. The primary outcome was total spending on outpatient imaging tests, and secondary outcomes included spending and utilization by modality. Resu
